There is also a large reading room
with periodicals and papers. The
sailors visit this at night and it is
sort of a club to them. There are
what are called Bethel commence
ments-every Monday night, and
they are visited by ministers, lectur-
ers and other distinguished gentle
men who make addresses. The sail
ors sometimes participate, give reci-
tations and sing songs that are often
eneored in way that would delight
a professional, 1t is thus that this
institution attracts and protects
seamen visiting New Orleans from
the land sharks that would otherwise
prey upon them.
Continuing, the chaplain said the
sailor was different from other men,
and usually made an active, earnest
Christian. His contact with the
ocean made a deep impression upon
him. Amid the wind, the thunder,
the lightning and the foam-capped
waves OF the storm he was often
called to ascend and man yard arms
that rocked from oceans edge on one
to oceans edge on the other side and
sometimes he was washed out into
the deep. Contrast the fate Of sucl
a one with that OF the soldier whose
deeds are on land and can be seer
and reported and lauded as they de
serve to be. But Of the poor sailol
all that can be said is, CRASHED over

THE CoNVICTs SURRENDER.
The Mutiny in the Raleigh Peuitentiar!
Ouelled without BIoodshed.

The Mutiny in the Raleigh PeuitentIary
OueIled Without Bloodshed.
RALEIGH, n. e, April 1S.-Excitement
over the convicts' mutiDy ran high all day
yesterday.
Troops entered the penitentiary about s
o'clock Saturday night aud remained all
night. The gas was out, owing to an acci
dent to the main, and the place was in
darkness, thus greatly complicating the
situation.
Sixty cOnviCts, who were out in CORR.
dor, tore up part of the brick pavement,
but made no attempt at an attack. Al
midnight the gas was again turned on and
the great building'was illuminated, but
no further attempt to force the cOnvicts
into the cells was made.
The mutineers assembled in the corridor
and swore and shouted for hours. Iester-
day morning they went into n large room
known as the Sunday school room. The
riot alarm was given in the city, and more
white troops went out to the Penitentiary.
while the cOlOred company was assembled
at the armOry in readiness for call. The
cOnvicts waived red flags from the win
dows of the prison, which were observed
by hunpreds of persons who had assembled
near the building. Governor Scales gave
instructions that bloOdshed must be re-
sorted to only AZ an extreme measure, but
that it must follow the slightest attempt
at escape or not. He placed his military
under control of Warden Hicks.
The convicts during the day refused TO
90 to their cells, seying that they wanted
their grievances redreSsed. Finally, after
a conference lasting all day, they promised
to obey and last night went to their cells.
The excitement here was remarkable and
was made more intense by the evident
sympathy Of some people outside with the
mutinOus cOnvictS.

The Bogus RiddIeberger Bonds to be Re

RICHMOND, VA, April lS.-CommOn
wealth Attorney S. b. Witt, of this city,
at the instance of the Sinking Fund Com
missioners of the State, has taken steps tC
prevent the SIS, 900 of forged RiddlebergeI
bonds of Virginia, sent here by Blake, Bro,

from being returned.
Ii is the intention of the authorities ia
trace up the author of these forgeries, and
the law officer of the city desires that the
bonds shall he retained as evidence in any
proceedings that may he instituted against
the perpetratOrsO of the bungling attempts at
forgery. 1t is believed that these worthless
bonds have been placed in other markets Of
the country.
Mr.. Edgar Allen, the counsel here fol
ihe Kendall Bank Note Company, of New
York, last evening received a telegram
from Mr.. Geo. II. Kendall, of that concern,
in which he said that he had that day
heard Of the sale Of the large blocks Of
these bonds in Boston. He expects Il
get the numbers Of all the bonds printed
by their establishment for the State ol
Virginia. This information may enable
the authorities to trace up these fOrgeries.

PARKERsBURG, W. VA, April 1s.-
This city was taken by surprise tonight
when it was announced that the new Dem
oefatic Mayor and City Council were to be
sworn in and the appointments to the va
rious city officers made. The announce
ment was true one and now the city is
under Democratic control Next Monday
night was regarded as the time for the new
officers to 90 in, but the wording of the
statute is ambiguous, and with true Dem
ocratic zeal for Office they gave themselves
the benefit of the doubt. The principal
officers are Captain James Mehen, Chief OF
Police; t, B. Clark, City Sergeat;
Kinnaird SnOdgrass, Judge OF Police
Court. Tonight the new police, with
Captain Mehen in command, are patroling
the streets already on their beats. In ac-
cOrdance with the suggestion in the REG
IsTER, the salary of the Chief of Police was
raised so that Captain Mehen would ac-
cept. He will now resign the position of U.
S. deputy marshal. A colored man is on
the ne - PolSe force eand several under city
officials were retained from the Republi-
can force. The appointments give general
satisfaction.

THREE MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDIES,
Discovery OF the Body of Frederick Wtrth'
the Missing ChicagOan.


CHICAGO. April 1S.-The body of Fred
erick Wirth, whose mysterious disappear
ance a month ago has been the subject OF
police investigation, and for the alleged
murder of whom Jacob Kuebler was ar
rested and confined for some time, was
discovered this morning in the slip I'M
mediately in the rear of ShOeRemann' 8
packing house, where Wirth was em-
ployed.
II will be remembered that while in the
custody of the police Jacob Kuebler talked
wildly about Wirth having been thrown
into the river at the Red Bridge" on
Archer avenue, and described the spot
where the corpse could be found The
police made search there, but instead OF
finding Wirth they brought to the surface
the body of Peter Hansen, an old man nv
ing on Ashland avenue, who mysterlousIy
disappeared from his home about a month
AGO. No explanation of how Hansen came
to ms death has been made.
A couple of weeks bt e the discovery
of Hansen's body, the mutilated trunk OF
a man was found in the canal at LOckport.
1t was at once thought that this was
Wirth's body, and Mrs. Wirth went to
Lockport for the purpose of viewing it. She
failed to identify the body then, but last
week went again to LOckpOrt and said that
she thought the remains were her hus-
bands, and they were buried last Friday.
